Testing summary

Scope of Testing

In Scope

• what's expected from the manual QA point of view is to ensure the Photon Performance changes do not introduce regressions and the areas impacted are covered by exploratory/smoke/regression testing;
• the depth of testing vary from case to case, based on the FF area that shall be checked;
• validating user perceived improvements;

Out of Scope

• validating the actual performance improvements - excepting the visual ones (user perceived improvements)

Environments

Windows 7, 8.1, 10
Ubuntu 16.04
Mac 10.12, 10.10

Test Strategy

Risk Assessment and Coverage

Values:

• Magnitude: 1- Low , 2-Moderate, 3-High

• Probability: 1-Unlikely, 2-Possible, 3-Almost Certain

• Priority: 1 - Low, 2-Medium, 3-High

Impact Score Breakdown:

• An impact value of 1, 2, 3, 4 would describe an area which although should be covered there aren't expected any discoveries of critical issues.
• An impact value of 6, 8, 9, 12 would describe an area in which we expect to find issues but those issues are not expected to be critical.
• An impact value of 18 or 27 would describe an area on which it is likely to find issues and those issues to be critical or blockers.

Test Objectives

This section details the progression test objectives that will be covered. Please note that this is at a high level. For large projects, a suite of test cases would be created which would reference directly back to this master. This could be documented in bullet form or in a table similar to the one below.
